Charter for Compassion is unveiled today
Posted: November 12, 2009 Filed under: Compassion | Tags: Compassion Leave a commentToday I signed on to the Charter for Compassion.
I’ve watched this develop for the last 20 months, starting from a TED wish, developing into a project that has involved many people from all major religions, to the unveiling today of the final product – the powerful four paragraph text of the Charter for Compassion.
Here is a link to the TED site page about Karen Armstrong and her wish project.
And here is a link to the Charter for Compassion. I encourage you to look at the charter itself and the process by which it was created. It has been a really cool journey. Here is the YouTube video of the charter.
The coming together of the world’s major religions around a set of common beliefs holds in it the best promise I see for a more peaceful world.
